Car in gear but not moving
Hello everybody, so yesterday this thing happened, I was just driving around in the city, shifted in 2nd gear, and just normally left the foot off the clutch pedal, drove in second gear for like 10-20 yards and then suddenly, heard some kind of a weird sound, the shifting knob stayed in 2nd gear, but all of a sudden the car wasn't accelerating anymore, still tried to push the acceleration pedal, but it was just going up in RPM's with no acceleration, just like I would've accelerated in neutral gear, tried shifting to 1st gear to get it going, it kinda struggled for one more last push and moved maybe some couple inches, and then the same happened. I checked beneath the car for any planetary gear issues, but that doesn't seem to be the issue, I might be thinking it is either the clutch or the pinion gear? Anyone thinking of another possibilities?

If you haven't snapped a driveshaft, or got a fault with the gear selector cables, then I'm afraid it is a gearbox off job to find the cause.
Could be a broken clutch plate, DMF, or a fault with the gearbox itself - although that would be rare as they are usually very reliable. If I was putting any money on it I'd bet the centre has sheared off from the clutch plate. |

I didn't quite get that, what do you mean about the centre sheared off from the clutch plate?

And also, if that would be the case, could you please send me a link in PM with a reliable replacement part(s), because my workshops here have very high prices parts wisely...

I'm sure someone can provide you with a source for reasonably priced good quality clutch components. Change the complete clutch and the slave cylinder while you are in there, and check the DMF play is within the limits - there is a guide on the forum if you do a search. |
